Ohlone holds ten monthly Membership Meetings featuring programs on birds and the environment and are open to all!  Because Ohlone covers all the cities of Southern and Eastern Alameda County, we alternate our monthly meeting places in order to better serve our entire membership. We’re always on the lookout, and welcome suggestions, for attractive, affordable, and conveniently located meeting facilities. If you know of a room in a school, church, retirement facility, etc., that may possibly be suitable for OAS membership meetings, please contact Diana Brumbaugh through email by clicking on her name or emailing ohloneaudubonprograms AT gmail.com

Bring your washable cup to enjoy hot or cold beverages with the delectable morsels provided by volunteer chefs. This is our chance to converse and compare sightings with other bird observers. You may volunteer to provide refreshments for future meetings by signing the form circulated at the meeting.
